And the first book of 2020 is.... A pick? Apparently this was a graphic novel adaptation of a film, which the author admits is a difficult task. Add to that the rather poor quality of the book production (very small print, color pictures where there was red overly or some weird stuff.) The story however was very good.

PS- this also fits for #Booked2020 item 6 😁

I loved this graphical memoir. I have never heard of Long Tack Sam and that makes me super sad. He wouldn‘t compromise his values when television became king and resort to being portrayed as Chinese villains so his legacy was mainly lost to History. Here his great granddaughter explores his path as a magician. So good!

KCofKaysville I liked it too. Fun when family memories are rediscovered 4y
